  • Summary

  • Scott Endicott and Ben Locwin with host Tom Fox are back for part 5 of the Understanding Lyme Disease Podcast series. In this episode, they talk about living with chronic toxicity and co-infectious agents. A Useful Approach to Knowledge The best way to help yourself, and loved ones who have been diagnosed with Lyme disease, is to seek out accurate information to make sure that you get the best treatment options available. The earlier treatment is applied, the more effective it is.  The Next Steps Scott talks about a few innovative initiatives regarding Lyme disease. Focusing on diagnostic criteria and treatment approaches will be a great opportunity to turn the disease around. Currently, there is an increased acceptance of the disease and less stigma so that will go a long way in creating more options and opportunities for treatment. “There's been a much broader acceptance of Lyme in health insurance claims that's actually gone from being a very difficult diagnosis to one that's much more accepted,” Scott tells Tom. On the chronic side of the disease, Scott recommends that persons afflicted with tick bites get doxycycline in their systems as soon as possible. Knowing The Cause The more patients understand about Lyme disease, the more they would be able to apply smarter resources to improve prevention and care. They can be able to manipulate the neutrophils [the disruption of the immune system]. The more they understand about the science behind the causative agents, the easier it will be to fight it.  Resources Scott Endicott | LinkedIn Ben Locwin | LinkedIn | Twitter
